Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an arbitration type connection system which arbitrates connection conditions of system users and forms a voice call between those who satisfy the conditions.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, there has been known a system in which a switching system determines whether or not to connect a certain voice call (also referred to as a voice communication call) and performs control such that only a voice call permitted to be connected is connected. I have. As an example of such a system, for example, an important telephone terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a VIP terminal)
With regard to, the voice call that can be received at the VIP terminal is limited to only a specific person, while the call from the VIP terminal is controlled so that it can be received at any other party, or a private branch exchange, etc. In some cases, only a specific extension telephone can be connected to the office line, and other extension telephones cannot be connected to the office line.

[0003]

However, the above-described conventional voice call connection system does not always reflect the intention of each party to be connected. For example, a person who wants to reject the connection from the viewpoint of the called party ( A voice call from the caller may be received, or a voice call may be received from a caller who does not want to connect (callee).

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to enable connection of a voice call while arbitrating both intentions so that the intentions of the users to be connected can be accurately reflected.

[0005]

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the principle of the present invention. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a plurality of user systems having a data communication function and a voice communication function are connected to the plurality of user systems via a data network and a voice communication network, respectively. An arbitration-type call connection system including a connection control system, wherein the user system includes a calling condition that specifies to which communication partner a connection request is made, and a destination that specifies which connection partner is permitted to make a connection request. Means for transmitting the condition to the connection control system via the data network, the connection control system includes: a reception processing unit that receives the emission condition and the arrival condition from the user system; and user information that is individual information of the user. An information storage that holds the arbitration condition, which includes the emission condition and the arrival condition received by the reception processing unit, for each user. And parts,
A voice communication call is formed via a voice communication network between an arbitration processing unit that arbitrates a combination of users satisfying the arbitration condition with reference to the user information and a user system of the user that is established as a result of the arbitration in the arbitration processing unit. And an arbitration-type call connection system including a connection execution unit that performs the connection. In this arbitration type call connection system, the arbitration processing unit of the connection control system arbitrates a combination of users satisfying the arbitration condition while referring to the user information according to the calling condition and the arrival condition registered by the user, and the connection execution unit A voice communication call is formed between the user systems of the users established as a result of the arbitration via the voice communication network.

[0006] The reception processing unit can be configured to include information updating means for updating the user information or the arbitration condition information of the information holding unit based on the change control information input from the user system via the data network. This allows the user to change the arbitration condition, for example, when the arbitration is not established under the already set arbitration condition.

In the above arbitration type call connection system,
A user system configured to transmit a query request indicating the issuing condition to the connection control system; display means for displaying user information of one or more condition-matching users notified by the connection control system in response to the query request; Selecting means for selecting the other party who wants to talk from among the set of condition-matching users and notifying the connection control system via the data network, wherein the connection control system responds to an inquiry request from the calling user system. Search means for searching for a user who matches the condition based on the user information of the information holding unit, and a notifying means for notifying the calling user system of the user information of the condition matching user searched for by the search means via the data network, The arbitration processing unit is configured to perform arbitration processing with a condition-matching user selected and notified in the calling user system. It can be. As a result, the calling user can obtain and view the user information of the user who matches the calling condition registered by himself / herself from the connection control system, and can select the other party to call from among them. Since the connection control system arbitrates for the selected partner, a voice call is not formed with the partner who does not intend to have a conversation from the beginning based on the user information, and there is no waste in arbitration.

[0008] In addition, the above-mentioned selecting means issues, to the connection control system, a voice communication call formation request for forming a voice communication call to the other party, if any of the notified condition matching users desires to talk. It can be configured as follows. As a result, the connection control system can immediately perform arbitration as to whether or not the calling user can form a voice communication call with the target party.

[0009] Alternatively, the above-mentioned selecting means sends an inquiry request to the connection control system for inquiring permission of voice communication call formation to one or more of the notified users who want to talk to the condition matching users. It can be configured to emit to the user. As a result, the calling user can simultaneously inquire whether a plurality of opponents have intentions of conversation.

The arbitration processing unit arbitrates whether or not a voice communication call can be formed by referring to the arrival condition of the condition-matching user based on the selection information of the condition-matching user selected as the call partner by the calling user system. It can be configured as follows. As a result, arbitration that does not meet the wearing conditions set by the other party is not performed.

Alternatively, the arbitration processing unit refers to the user's wear condition when searching for the condition-matching user by the search means, searches only the user who satisfies the wear condition as a condition-matching user, Can be configured to notify the system. Thus, when searching for a condition-matching user, a partner whose personal information does not match the arrival condition is excluded from the condition-matching user in advance, so that arbitration is not wasted.

Alternatively, the arbitration processing unit, in response to the notification of the selection information of the condition-matching user from the originating user system, inquires of the selected condition-matching user about connection permission, and determines whether or not the connection is acceptable. Arbitration can be further performed only for the user who has replied. Thereby, it is possible to prevent arbitration with a partner who does not intend to permit a conversation with the calling user.

Alternatively, the arbitration processing unit may be configured to present the user information of the calling user to the selected condition matching user when making the inquiry about the connection permission. This allows the other party to see the calling user's personal information,
You will be able to choose whether to talk to that person or not.

Alternatively, in the arbitration processing unit, upon inquiring of permission of the connection, the arbitration processing unit presents the user information of the calling user only to the user who has confirmed the intention of the response among the selected condition matching users. It can be configured as follows. As a result, the personal information of the calling user can be presented only to the partner who has indicated the will of the response.

Alternatively, the arbitration processing unit notifies the calling user of the intention of responding to the selected condition-matching user in response to the inquiry of permission of the connection, and in response thereto, the calling user has the intention of responding. It can be configured to present the user information of the calling user only to the user selected from the condition matching users. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation in which a voice call is not formed as a result, even though the accepting of the conversation is permitted while viewing the personal information of the calling user.

Alternatively, the above-described arbitration processing unit may arbitrate with the calling user periodically or when the information in the information holding unit is updated based on a request from the calling user who has registered the calling condition. It can be configured to arbitrate users who meet the conditions. Thereby, even when there is no other party that matches the arbitration condition when the calling user registers the calling condition, the arbitration condition is matched by the subsequent participation in the arbitration-type call connection system or the change of the arbitration condition by the other party. When the other party arises, it is possible to arbitrate with that party.

[0017]

The switching processing unit 22 exchanges and connects the telephone lines of the telephone terminals of the users established as a result of the arbitration based on the exchange control information received by the exchange control information transmitting / receiving unit 21.

Hereinafter, several examples of the arbitration operation by the arbitration type call connection system will be described. (1) First, as an operation example (1), referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, a voice communication call with a specific partner (user B) based on transmission conditions registered by user A (calling side). An example in which is formed will be described.

When the user A logs in from the user system 3A, the control server 1 receives the login in the reception processing unit 12, updates the operation information of the database, and notifies the user A of "login reception completed". . As a result, the user A indicates a transmission condition (other party condition, for example, height: 175 cm or more, hobby: sports), and makes an “inquiry request” of registered user information that matches the transmission condition. The control server 1 registers this transmission condition in the database, and performs a process for an inquiry request for user information of a registrant who matches the transmission condition.

In the processing of the inquiry request, the reception processing unit 12 searches the personal information (user information) of the user registered in the database, and extracts the logged-in user matching the transmission condition.

Next, the extracted user information (registration ID, face photograph, age, etc.) is notified to the user A as "condition matching user information". At this time, if the user information of the calling side user A does not match the incoming call condition registered by the called side user, the called side user information may not be notified to the user A. .

In the user system 3A, when the "condition matching user information" is received, the content is displayed on the screen of the personal computer 31A. The user A looks at the notified user information, selects a specific partner (for example, the user B) who wants to have a conversation from among the user information, and selects the specific person. Is specified and a “voice call formation request (partner = B)” is performed.

In the control server 1, based on the “voice call formation request (partner = B)” from the user A, the arbitration processing execution unit 14 performs the incoming condition (arbitration condition) of the user B.
Is checked to determine whether or not the user A satisfies the incoming condition of the user B. If the incoming condition of the user B is not satisfied, the user A is notified of the "voice call formation impossible". On the other hand, if user A satisfies the incoming condition of user B,
Of the connection request from the user A to the user system 3B of the
The user B is notified of the connection request of the voice call from the user A on the screen of the user B by means of a pop-up screen or a notification sound.

When the user B has no intention to respond after seeing this notification, a notification indicating that there is no response is sent to the control server 1 so that the control server 1 sends a "voice call" to the user system 3A of the user A. Notification of "call formation disabled" is performed.

On the other hand, if the user B responds to know the further details of the connection request, a response notification is sent from the user system 3B to the control server 1. When the control server 1 receives this response notification, the control system 1
User A's user information (registration ID, face photo, age, etc.)
Notify.

In the user system 3B of the user B, when the user information of the user A is notified, the user A
Is displayed on the personal computer.
The user B determines whether or not to accept the voice call connection request from the user A by referring to the user information, and executes the arbitration process of the control server 1 from the user system 3B as "acceptable" or "acceptance rejected". Notify the unit 14.

If the notification from the user B is "acceptable", the arbitration processing execution unit 14 issues a connection instruction to the circuit switching system 2 via the switching control processing unit 143 to form a voice communication call. The circuit switching system 2 establishes a communication path between the user A and the user B using the telephone terminals 32A and 32B. On the other hand, if the notification from the user B is “unacceptable”, the control server 1 notifies the user A via the LAN 5 of “unavailable voice call formation”.

(2) Next, an operation example (2) of the arbitration type call connection system will be described with reference to FIGS. The operation example (2) shows an example in which a request for forming a voice call is made to a plurality of parties based on transmission conditions registered by the user A (calling side).

As in the case of the operation example (1) described above, the user A logs in to the system, and the control server 1 registers the registered transmission conditions (other party conditions. For example, height: 175 cm or more, hobby: (Sports).

In the same manner as in the step of the above-mentioned operation example (1), the reception processing section searches the personal information of the user registered in the database and logs in or all (login / logoff) matching the transmission conditions. Regardless)
To extract users.

In the same manner as in the operation example (1) described above, the extracted user information (registration ID, face photograph, age, etc.) of the user A is referred to as “condition matching user information”.
Notify. At this time, if the personal information of the user A does not match the receiving condition of the receiving user, the receiving user information may not be notified to the user A.

When there is a user who wants to apply for a conversation among the notified users who meet the conditions, the user A selects one or more users (all users may be selected) and issues a "connection inquiry request". This is performed for the control server 1. This "connection inquiry request" is for inquiring of the user of the other party whether the user A is willing to accept the conversation application.

The arbitration processing execution section 14 of the control server 1 checks the incoming condition of the user selected in the “connection inquiry request” based on the “connection inquiry request” from the user A, and To see if they meet their incoming conditions. Among the selected users, the user whose incoming condition does not match is specified, and the user A is notified of the fact that the voice call cannot be formed by specifying the user name.

On the other hand, the arbitration processing execution unit 14 simultaneously transmits the voices from the user A to the personal computers of all the users who meet the incoming conditions via the LAN 5 for the users whose incoming conditions are matched. The call connection request is notified by means of a pop-up screen or a notification sound.

When the user who has received the above notification returns a response notification to the control server 1 in response, the control server 1 notifies the user who has returned the response notification of the user information of the calling user A from the control server 1. The registration ID, face, photograph, age, etc.) are notified. The user who has received the notification of the user information sees the user information and determines whether or not to accept the connection request for the voice call of the user A, and determines “acceptable” or “accepted”.
To the control server 1.

The control server 1 notifies the user A of "acceptable user" indicating the user name of the user who has notified "acceptable". For the user who has given the notification of "acceptance refusal", the notification of "acceptable user" is included in the "acceptable user" notification and the user A is notified. Therefore, when the notification of “acceptance” is given from one or a plurality of users, the information of those users is notified to the user A. When all the members have notified the "acceptance refusal", the user A is notified via the LAN 5 to that effect.

The user A of the user system 3A selects a partner (user B in this example) who wants to form a voice call (that is, a conversation application) from among the notified "acceptable" users. Then, a “voice call formation request (partner = B)” specifying the other party is sent to the control server 1. The control server 1 receives the "voice call formation request (partner = B)" and establishes a call path by telephone terminals between the users A and B by the circuit switching system 2 via the exchange control processing unit 143.

(3) Next, an operation example (3) of the arbitration type call connection system will be described with reference to FIGS. The operation example (3) shows an example in which a request for forming a voice communication call is made to a plurality of parties based on transmission conditions registered by the user A (the transmission side).

~: Same as step ~ in operation example (2) above.

When the user who has received the notification of the connection request from the user A responds and notifies the control server 1 of the response, the control server 1 transmits the information of the responded user name via the LAN 5 to the user. Notify A. If no one responds, the fact is notified to the user A via the LAN 5.

When the user A selects a partner (a user B in this example) who wants to form a voice communication call from among the responding users, the user A sets the user B to the "voice call forming request". (The partner = B) "to the control server 1.
The control server 1 receives the "voice call formation request (partner =
B), the user B is notified of the user information (registered ID, face, photograph, age, etc.) of the user A.

The user B receiving the notification is the user A
It is determined whether or not to accept the connection request for the voice call from the user A by referring to the user information of the user A, and notifies the arbitration process execution unit 14 of “acceptance permitted” or “acceptance rejection”.

If the notification of the user B who meets the condition is “acceptable”, the arbitration processing execution unit 14 sets the exchange control processing unit 143 to form a voice communication call between the user A and the user B. And a connection request is made to the circuit switching system 2 to establish a call path.

On the other hand, if the notification from the user B is “acceptance rejection”, the control server 1 notifies the user A via the LAN 5 (“acceptance rejection notification”). If there are other users who have responded in the above-mentioned steps and there is a user who wants to apply for a conversation, the user A forms a voice communication call in the flow of the above-mentioned steps 1 to 3. You can try.

(4) Next, an operation example (4) of the arbitration type call connection system will be described with reference to FIGS. This operation example (4) is based on the transmission conditions registered in advance by the user A (calling side), and even if no user matches the arbitration condition at the time of the registration, a new user after the registration is registered. When the arbitration conditions come into effect due to changes in the arbitration conditions of the logged-in user, etc.
This is an example of a case in which the user A is notified to that effect and a request for forming a voice communication call is made based on the notification.

Similarly to the steps of the above-mentioned operation example (1), the user A logs in to the arbitration-type call connection system from the user system 3A, and registers the registered outgoing conditions (other party conditions, for example, height: 175 cm or more). , Hobbies: sports)
Request for registrant information along the line. The control server 1 executes a reception process corresponding to the inquiry request.

As in the case of the above-mentioned operation example (1), the reception processing unit 12 searches the personal information (user information) of the user registered in the database, and uses during log-in that matches the transmission conditions. Search for a person.

As a result of the search, when there is no user who satisfies the transmission condition, the control server 1 notifies the user A that "there is no condition matching user information". At this time, even when the user information of the calling-side user A does not match the receiving condition registered by the called-side user, it can be determined that “there is no condition-matching user information”.

User A, having received the notification of "no condition matching user information", logs in a new user or changes the arbitration condition of a user who is already logged in without changing the current transmission conditions. If there is a possibility that a condition-matching user will appear due to, for example, a condition-matching user occurrence notification start request is sent to the control server 1 in order to wait for a user matching the transmission condition to appear.

As a result, the control server 1 executes the processing of the standby inquiry request. In the processing of the standby inquiry request, a new user logs in, and the operation information of the user is rewritten as a login, or a user who is already logged in rewrites an arbitration condition (for example, an incoming condition). Waiting for content to be rewritten. Then, in the arbitration processing execution unit 14, the information holding unit 13 when the operation information or the arbitration condition information is updated.
In response to the update notification from, the personal information of the user registered in the database is searched again. As a result, when a user meeting the transmission condition of the user A can be extracted, the user A is notified to that effect.

Instead of the information update notification from the information holding unit 13, the personal information of the user registered in the database may be periodically searched to extract the user who meets the arbitration condition. It is possible.

Thereafter, the arbitration process is performed according to the steps of the operation example (1).

Various modifications can be made in implementing the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the arbitration type call connection system is installed as a matchmaking system at a marriage inquiry center or the like has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible to construct this arbitration type call connection system as one function for voice call connection in. Further, it is obvious that the application of the arbitration type call connection system of the present invention is not limited to the matchmaking system. For example, the mediation type call connection system is constructed as an intermediary system for selling information and buying information of various articles owned by many users. It is also possible.

[0065]

As described above, according to the present invention, the intention of each user to whom a voice call is connected is arbitrated, and the connection of the voice call that accurately reflects both intentions can be performed. Become.
